The Southern Pacific Blockade.

Judge Anson Brunson. solicitor of the Santa Fe system, said to a Hines man yesterday: Thirty five hundred tons of s'eei Tails for us are now in San Diego haroor, snd 6JO0 toBs more on the way. Every foot of them Slll De used in Southern California. No, tue Santa Fe IS not going north. We have far more tFaiiic down here that We can handle, and It would be foolish to try to build ne~ lines until We get the present ones in perfect shape. I do not think that even our ar line from Kspsgs City to Cmeego will be operated before spring. Because we haven't motive power enough To ruH tbe transcOntiuent6l line ade- qaately. Mir. Smith wrote me tho other day that ihe company had made what it ctemed ample preparations for Rn euor- nous snd unprecedented rush of travel, but tbgs the rush has been fully lC1 per cent greaier than the most sAnguine ex- ptcted. We cannot beg'n to get loco motives enough, though all the factor les n the country are pushed to their utmost. Such Hn immigration is un- pBralle!ed ID the history of the United StGies. Ii Is spreading ;o all the trans. continental l!pes. The Southern Pscificis badly blocked with freight np above Te- hachePi. The Union Pacific i. in great trouble. Mr. Wilkins states that Nhen he WAS Tn Chicago that road WAS 3CC0 cars short just on merchandise coal. As saw 1t stated q day or two ago, the Southern Pacific Is t~o to four weeks behlBd on freight, the Union Paoifi, four to SIX weeks, and the SAate F. complete ly suowec under. The Santa Fe is now emerging, however. Every blccdaded freight car between here and AlbUquer- que IS now moving, and we will Lave them sil ID here Tn few days, li We have tO serd the switch engines uu: of the yards to bring them in.

The Terms an Inventor Made.

George Stayner, Ives C Co.'S sole remain ing partner, got his start through a valuable invention. A man in whom Stayner was in- terested died suddenly in New Haven, Conn, where Stayner was a small trsdesman, and left an invention for engraving the backs of bank notes Stayner, by some means or other, got hold of tue machine and came 10 New York at once. He went to the New York Bank Note company-a sort of Stand ard Oil monopoly in this sort of work-and asked to see the president
 Docs be know your the attendant asked.
 Mop, said the visitor, carelessly, but you Cell him that hell want to know me pretty darn bad when he finds out what this mn chine can do."
 In q few moments the president and the superintendent looked at the machine, and saw that it could perform the delicate and kaleidoscopic tracery on bank notes in e fash ion that put their prevailing methods to the blush.
 What are your ternss" asked the presi- dent.
 Stayner said be wanted lump sum and q big block of the stock. The terms were stag gering. but the machine was mailer.
 Give us ten days to think it over." said the president, aand we will then give you our answern
 I'll give you just twenty minutes" said Mir Stayner, dryly. Then he picked up his hat and strolled out. When he came back, the president smiled and said, with forced carelessness:
 sWeil, sir, we will pay you your terms
 sWell, the fact is," said Stayner, thought fully, @Tm not exactly pleased with the terms 1 want larger amount of stock.'- Blakely Hall in The .Argonaut.

A honnS Man Pays s5 for n Ride fin .
 Street Car.
 Ho was young, stylish, and very drunk. As be sat in a acorner of Mission street car last night and suryeyel the tips of his patent feathers through a pair Of bleared optics that huiged from their bony orbits, it was evident that he was typical member of the haut votee
 young lady and an ultra fashionabl. chaPerone, with q large fan and false front, sst opposite the young man The young lady seemed to be greatly amused in watching the efforts of the intoxicated individual toappear perfectly sober, while be seemed to be totally oblivious of her presence.
 The young lady watched intently; the f L hiccoughed mildly, and the driver notified the occupants of the car that a fare was due by jerking the bell violently about every minute.
 Presently the car stopped, and an aged and decrepit man slowly entered. His arms seemed 10 be paralyzsd, but be managed .o get out thin wallet, from which be drew nickel. He gave a pleading look around the car, and the young lady quickly reached over, smiled pleasantly, received the nickel. nnd deposited II in the box The aged man bestowed upon her look 0f gratitude, and the blase young man appeared to be startled by the trifling incident. Just about this time the driver became tired ringing for the fare. He threw open the door with a bang. and In the regulation car drivers voice com manded the young blood to pay his fare.
 The latter started Us if the angle worms that precede the large ugly reptiles had met his view. He quickly regained his com posture, however, and with his thumb and foretinger took a coin from his vest pocket. Then he cast a beseeching glance at the young lady, leaned so heavily upon the chaperone that she managed to conjure up q blush, and in voice strained with counter felt emotion said: Would you be so kindT-
 Certainly was the meek rejoinder, and she took the coin and deposited it in the box. just as she had done with tho aged gentle mans fare. When it reached the bottom she saw it through the glass, and an expression of pained surprise suffussd her countenance. She quickly turned and said: -Why, sir, you gave me a SJ piece"
 He was just prepared to beam forth a smile Of thanks, but the announcement affected his breathing. He staggered up to the door, and in a loud voice demanded change for the g. The driver had pulled the string that projected the coin to the bottom of the box He thought that it was only nickel, as be had only taken casual glance, and the demand for change phased him. He quietly told the passenger to go and get sober, and when the latter became obstreper- ous he was told that he would be thrown of the car. He then muttered something about suing the company. and finally took his de- parture, but he never again glanced at the young lady.-San Francisco Pos..

A Cowboys Bit of Experience.

am not dissatisfied, but my foolish notions have been corrected, and l am sure if the young men in the east knew the facts and understood the roal work that cowboys do they would be glad to stay at home and earn a living in ar easier manner.
 The work is fully as hard as a sailors. IL has Its redeeming features, of course, and a cowboy has good health and is independent to a certain extent. If l were asked to advise young man about cowboys life and the chances of success, l should tell him the life was hard, and that without capital the chances were poor.
 Then, if he insisted upon trying 1t, l should tell him to 70 out oz some big New England farm, put on a pair Of overalls, do all the hard drudgery and then multiply his work by two. and he would get an idea of cowboys life.-Youth's Companion.

ID the ruined mill long shadows fal. The mice creep over the floor. Ihe cobwebs swing on the crannied wap The sun sits ia through the door: The great milistone han.ri idly there. And the brook as ii iricsles by Gives happy laugh to the sunlit air And smile 10 the far osI sky. It springs and 1t leaps the mill race down. IL whispers over the grass, IL gurSles under the tree roots brown It calls Co the birds as they pass. Over teathery moss it softly flows Where the pines their bows intarlace. And the great, gaunt rocks in their calm repose For ages untold have their place. In the deep ravine, in the summer noon The lazy leaves scarcely stir: wayward bee gives a honeved oroon- The crickets faintly whir: The trees grow green in thelr fallen state The squirrels run out and in. And the very stones seetn Co watch and wait For the life of the mill to begin.

AN OLD INDIAN FIGHTER.
Horrifying Goodness With Which He Cav
 the Details of the Death of His Foes

Horrifying Goodness With Which He Gave
 the Details of the Death of His Foes.
 I suppose a soldier in battle but rarely knows that he has actually shot a man, but one of these old Indian fighters sits down after dinner, over a pipe, and re- lates to you with quite hOrrifying coolneSs every detail of the death which his rifle and his sure eyes dealt to an Indian; and when this one, stroking meanwhile the head of little boy, who was standing at his knees, described tO me how he lay on the grass and too; aim at a tall chief, who was, fin the moe light, trying to steal a boat from a patty of gold seekers, and how, at the crack of his rifle, the Indian fell his whole lelg.h in the boat and never stirred again, confess was dumb with amazement. The tragedy had not even the dignity of an event in a mans life He shot Indians as he ate his dinner, plainly as mere matter of course; nor was he brute, but 2 kindly, honest, good fellow, not in the least blOOdthirsty.
 One of these very Indian fighters is now sitting before me. l have been ac- quainted with him for years, and know him Co be q good, kind hearted man, and the idol of the little curly heads who ciUister at his Knees. He does not look at all Es l imagined a murderer would look; t; he Is Cignif;ed as well as good hearted-in tGct, there Is nothing different in his ap- pearance and manner from those of any other well meaning citizen. And yet he has just been telling me, with q slight, satisfied smile playing over his lips as he spoke, how he once hanged an Indian and again how he cut the throat of another.
 I am not at all afrEid of him, though must acknowledge that he makes me shudder; but es We think over the matter l wonder all the samo-and yet in the south, and all over the sea, l have looked upon some strange, sad scenes, in which blood was not wanting. Am l disgusted when he tells me how he once cut a steak with his bowie knife out of an old Indiani Yes-but there be stands before me, and l must say that he does not st all look like butcher-A. c.

Aluminium Dental PIa e..

The early use of aluminium was not satisfactory, as the metal was impure, owing to the presence of iron, and it soon succumbed to the fluids of the mouth. This was more generally true of cast plates, which were not only more difficult tO make, but were not as good. The metal Is not very easy to cast, as it does not flow freely like other metals, and the contraction is considerable, causing cracked blocks. When made from rolled plate and pure metal. aluminium for upper cases has proved very satisfactory in my hands, and not being very expensive is a recommendation, us it is a metal, and is thus Letter than rubber and less in cost than gold. IL is very light and strong
 perfectly tasteless and odorless, and as healthy to the gums as gold or platina. The teeth are best attached with rubber
